Go ahead, admit it. You love your Christian Louboutins. And your Jimmy Choos. Maybe it’s all about your New Balance running shoes or the Havaianas flip flops you wore to yoga class. Me, I have a weakness for ballet flats whether they are Lanvin, Repetto, Topshop or Zara. We are shoe obsessed… after all, shoes are a necessity, right?
But not everyone is so lucky to have even a basic pair of shoes. TOMS Shoes, the company that gives a pair of shoes to a child in need for every pair of shoes purchased, continues its fight to change the dire situation.
Tomorrow is TOMS 3rd Annual One Day Without Shoes and the company is asking you to go barefoot. Yep, a shoe company wants people worldwide to lose the shoes! It’s all to bring awareness about the importance of shoes, which help prevent injury and disease.
Beloved by celeb fans Keira Knightley, Anne Hathaway, Kristen Stewart, Ashley Olsen, Bradley Cooper, Zoe Saldana and Scarlett Johansson, TOMS is asking people to go barefoot, whether it be for just a few minutes or the whole day, so we can all experience firsthand what millions of children endure every single day. So far, TOMS has given more than 600,000 pairs of new shoes to children around the world.
Don’t you love to kick your shoes off? It feels good doesn’t it? Now it really feels good knowing it’s for an amazing cause.
